Chapter Forty-Five: Kangda Apartment
Entering the private room at the end of the corridor on the second floor of the Japanese Navy Club Building, Chen Lei saw a drunk Ah Xiu, still lying on the low table and falling asleep.
Chen Lei didn't say a word, he immediately carried Ah Xiu on his back, left the private room, walked through the corridor on the second floor, and went down the stairs to the hall on the first floor.
At this time, it was already half past nine o'clock in the evening, and in the huge hall, there were still many people still singing and dancing with the Japanese kabuki, and Chen Lei carried Ah Xiu on his back and walked from the aisle next to the hall on the first floor to the door.
Keiko, the kabuki foreman who was sitting at the counter inside the door, saw Chen Lei carrying Ah Xiu out of the gate on the first floor, she didn't step forward to say hello, but was stunned in place, her eyes radiating envy, jealousy and hatred.
After walking out of the Japanese Navy Club building, Chen Lei walked along the side of the road with Ah Xiu on his back for about five minutes, but he did not encounter any rickshaws, so he could only continue to carry Ah Xiu forward.
Strange to say, in the past, even at one or two o'clock in the night, Chen Lei stood on a decent street, whether it was in the public concession of Shanghai Tang, the French concession, or even in the occupied area, every two or three minutes he could see an empty rickshaw passing in front of him.
It's not even ten o'clock tonight, and Baoshan Road, one of the main roads in Zhabei area, doesn't even have a rickshaw, which makes Chen Lei feel unlucky.
Because before he met the rickshaw, he had to carry Ah Xiu on his back and continue to walk on Baoshan Road.
Although Ah Xiu's height is about 1.6 meters and his weight is less than 100 catties, at such a late hour, he is carrying a girl who is not familiar with him, what kind of system is this.
From the Japanese Navy Club to the Iwai Mansion, it was still about fifteen minutes by car, and Chen Lei walked on foot with Ah Xiu on his back, and he walked for about forty minutes before he arrived at the gate of the Iwai Mansion.
Several pseudo-policemen who were in charge of standing guard at the gate of the courtyard of the Iwai Mansion saw Chen Lei walking over on foot with Ah Xiu on his back from a distance, and they hurriedly stepped forward and said that they wanted to solve problems for Chen Lei.
The pseudo-policeman Xiao Sun can be said to have taken the lead, and took the initiative to ask: "Mr. Chen, I see that you have been carrying Miss Axiu for a long time, right?" You have beads of sweat on your forehead. Hurry up and put Miss Ah Xiu down, let me carry Miss Ah Xiu upstairs, Mr. Chen can rest. ”
Xiao Liu, a pseudo-policeman, said not to be outdone: "Mr. Chen, don't listen to Sun Dazui's nonsense here." This kid is very weak, he is tired and out of breath after walking for twenty or thirty meters with a bucket of water, let him carry Miss Axiu upstairs, this is even more difficult than climbing to the sky! Not only do I have a big head, but I also have a strong body, so you can rest assured that I will carry Miss Ah Xiu to your upstairs office in less than a minute. ”
The pseudo-policeman Xiao Li snorted, glanced at his two colleagues Xiao Sun and Xiao Liu with disdain, and immediately belittled them and raised himself, and said: "Mr. Chen, the two of them are just talking nonsense, don't listen to what Sun Dazui and the six heads say." These two people are so lazy to do it when they are in the Huxi Police Station on weekdays, and they can't carry a fifty-pound bag of noodles on weekdays, so it's ridiculous to let the two of them carry Miss Axiu.
"Don't hide it, Mr. Chen, I, Liu Chuang, not only have the most accurate marksmanship in the Huxi Police Station, but also have practiced kung fu, if there is a fight, three or five people can't get close. I'm very strong, and I've developed eight-pack abs from my daily workouts. I hope Mr. Chen will give me a chance to perform, let me carry Miss Ah Xiu upstairs, if you fall on Miss Ah Xiu halfway, even if you shoot my head, my eyes will not blink. ”
…………
After listening to the five pseudo-policemen who rushed forward to speak, Chen Lei immediately shook his head violently a few times, and ordered with some patience: "You guys don't quarrel, whoever makes any more noise, I will fire him immediately." Don't stand here stupidly, hurry up and open the gate of the courtyard for me, and I'll carry Miss Ah Xiu in myself, and you will honestly stand guard here for me. ”
These pseudo-policemen, who were originally still enthusiastic one by one, were suddenly said by Chen Lei, and it was as if they had poured cold water on them, and suddenly, they all calmed down.
It wasn't until a moment that they understood that the Ah Xiu girl behind Chen Lei was very closely related to Chen Lei, and the body of the Ah Xiu girl could not be touched by ordinary people like them, and they couldn't even do it at once.
As soon as Chen Lei finished speaking, these pseudo-policemen did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and ran back one after another, and scrambled to open the gate of the courtyard of the Iwai Mansion, standing in line on both sides of the gate.
Under the attention of these pseudo-policemen, Chen Lei walked slowly into the courtyard with Ah Xiu on his back, and went to the office on the third floor of Building A, where Ah Xiu was placed on the couch.
Chen Lei, who had just put Ah Xiu on the couch and was so tired that he was panting like a cow, was sitting on the sofa next to him and resting, and finally his breath had stabilized...... Jingle Bell ...... The jingle bell rang ......".
Chen Lei, whose buttocks were not yet hot, stood up after patting his thigh, walked to the desk in three steps and two steps, picked up the phone with his left hand, and asked impatiently: "This is the Iwai Mansion, may I ask who you are?" Who are you looking for? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Lei heard Li Shijun's very polite voice from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Chen Lei, hello, I am Li Shijun from the secret service headquarters. Don't be embarrassed, it's so late to bother you. ”
In the process of listening, Chen Lei turned his head to look at the watch on his left wrist, and saw that the time displayed on it was 10:47 p.m., which was about two hours after he finished talking to Zheng Kai, the captain of the Iwai Mansion Action Team, at the Japanese Navy Club.
As far as Chen Lei knows, from the Iwai Mansion on Baoshan Road in the Zhabei area to the Kangda Apartment on Changle Road in the French Concession, if you are driving, the round-trip drive is enough for an hour and a half.
When he was in the courtyard of the Iwai Mansion just now, Chen Lei accidentally saw that the two black cars parked in the courtyard were missing, needless to say, Zheng Kai must have used these two black cars with the people of the action team.
It stands to reason that by this time, Zheng Kai, who went to carry out the arrest operation, had already brought Han Kun, a traitor who had defected to the Japanese devil and Wang's puppet regime, to the Iwai Mansion.
When he was at the gate of the courtyard just now, Chen Lei asked the pseudo-policemen who were in charge of standing guard and sentry after repeated questions, and they all said that Zheng Kai and the people of the action team left at nine o'clock in the evening in two black cars, and they have not returned until now.
Thinking about it again, when Zheng didn't return for a long time and Li Shijun called his office so late, Chen Lei secretly felt that something was wrong in his heart, and nine times out of ten it was Zheng Kai who met Li Shijun during the arrest of Han Kun.
Thinking of this, Chen Lei asked in a casual tone: "It turned out to be Deputy Director Li of the Secret Service Headquarters, you called my office, if I didn't guess wrong, Deputy Director Li should be in the Kangda Apartment on Changle Road in the French Concession at this moment, right?" ”
